Abstract

This chapter discusses the role of lifelong administration. The resources of lifelong education are everywhere. The fundamental question is one of access. Without knowledge of what is available, without lists and directories of offerings, without competent and enthusiastic workers to develop appropriate taxonomic sources, even the most convinced protagonist will fail. System must be sought, but not at the cost of rigidity. Good administration must be sought, but not at the cost of bureaucratized mediocrity. The real human need is leadership, the real structural need for adhocracy which is capable of changing as rapidly as the ever-changing family of man. The movement toward lifelong education as a fait accompli will be necessarily slow. The concept will take time to permeate society at large: individual administrators must be informed and persuaded, training programs for administrators must be amended, and data must be collected and made available in systematic form.
